BURNING BLOSSOMS

A high-stakes love story born under surveillance—where romance, betrayal, and authoritarian power collide—connecting the shared histories of Taiwan and Japan and offering a bold new vision for a Taiwan–Japan co-production.

Tokyo, 1963. Taiwanese students publish underground journals under false names to denounce the Kuomintang regime. Rinin, daughter of a 228 Incident victim, falls in love with Hao—only to learn he is an undercover agent sent to infiltrate their movement. As love and trust collapse, Rinin loses her passport and faces deportation and charges of rebellion. Hao sacrifices his life to save her, halting her forced return—yet she is left exiled, blacklisted, and forever barred from her homeland.
